As you may know, Christina is mom to two-year-old Cleopatra with her husband Mark Hampton, and she also shares a nine-year-old son, Freddie, with her ex, James Heerdegen.
Christina’s career has been flourishing in recent years with hit shows like Wednesday and Yellowjackets. However, she’s revealed in a new interview that her busy schedule made it difficult to bond with her daughter — who was only two months old when she returned to work.
“Last year, I was commuting back and forth to Vancouver for Yellowjackets,” she said on this week’s episode of the Let’s Be Clear podcast with Shannen Doherty, admitting the lack of time she had with Cleo meant they couldn’t connect.
Christina explained during the interview that her kids “do not like it” when she’s away on work trips. Still, she said that taking them both with her isn’t always financially viable while working on shows where she’s expected to fund her travel personally.
In light of the problematic circumstances, Christina said she manages it all by trying to come home as much as possible while also attempting to incorporate her children into her schedule whenever she can.
Christina has talked candidly in the past about facing financial difficulties, notably revealing back in 2022 that she even sold some of her Chanel bags to help fund her divorce from James Heerdegen. And now, in her recent interview, she recalled feeling lost during periods in her adult life when she was “really, really broke.”
Fortunately, the Wednesday star said she’s in a better place today but acknowledged that it’s still super difficult to hold it together when you’re trying to support a career and a family simultaneously.
